.SH NAME
curs_scroll, scroll, scrl, wscrl \- scroll a curses window
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBcc\fR [ \fIflag\fR ... ] \fIfile\fR ... \fB-lcurses\fR [ \fIlibrary\fR ... ]
#include <curses.h>

\fBint\fR \fBscroll\fR(\fBWINDOW *\fR\fIwin\fR);
.fi

.LP
.nf
\fBint\fR \fBscrl\fR(\fBint\fR \fIn\fR);
.fi

.LP
.nf
\fBint\fR \fBwscrl\fR(\fBWINDOW *\fR\fIwin\fR, \fBint\fR \fIn\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
With the \fBscroll()\fR routine, the window is scrolled up one line. This
involves moving the lines in the window data structure. As an optimization, if
the scrolling region of the window is the entire screen, the physical screen is
scrolled at the same time.
.sp
.LP
With the \fBscrl()\fR and \fBwscrl()\fR routines, for positive \fIn\fR scroll
the window up \fIn\fR lines (line \fIi+n\fR becomes \fIi\fR); otherwise scroll
the window down \fIn\fR lines. This involves moving the lines in the window
character image structure. The current cursor position is not changed.
.sp
.LP
For these functions to work, scrolling must be enabled via \fBscrollok()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
All routines return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and an integer value
other than \fBERR\fR upon successful completion.
